Passive Haptic Learning (PHL) is passive learning through background\u003Cem\u003E tactile \u003C\/em\u003Ecues. While a person is engaged in other tasks, tactile stimulation can deliver instruction on how to perform a skill. The user does not need to attend to the stimulation, and after the \u0026ldquo;passive\u0026rdquo; learning they retain sensorimotor memory that enables them to perform that skill.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EIn this dissertation I will study passive stimulation for teaching skills and systems like piano and text entry, and then apply this tactile stimulation to aid stroke rehabilitation.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EWearable computing devices deliver this tactile stimulation.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Passive Tactile Stimulation as a Tool for Learning and Stroke Recovery"}],"uid":"27707","created_gmt":"2017-09-18 13:29:29","changed_gmt":"2017-09-18 13:29:29","author":"Tatianna Richardson","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2017-09-27T10:30:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2017-09-27T12:30:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2017-09-27T12:30:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2017-09-27 14:30:00","gmt_time_end":"2017-09-27 16:30:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2017-09-27 16:30:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"221981","name":"Graduate Studies"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"102851","name":"Phd proposal"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1788","name":"Other\/Miscellaneous"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78761","name":"Faculty\/Staff"},{"id":"78771","name":"Public"},{"id":"174045","name":"Graduate students"},{"id":"78751","name":"Undergraduate students"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
